Carlos:
The working day of a bus driver can be very entertaining and full of variety. This is where we have set the main focus.

A lively realization of the normal workday full of curious events. And you are the center of all the action!

With our very first release from the "World of Bus driver" series we will offer something COMPLETELY new for this genre.

May we introduce:
?Carlos?. A new member of the bus driver team, who just can´t wait to begin his service for the New York Bus Company. You will control your character ?Carlos?via keyboard and mouse. Ego or Third Person view can be selected. ?Carlos?is animated and comes with speech.

More fun-to-play in a simulation game :
